NewsMertens Frames Project Space by Plan B presents EAT YOUR WAY HOME FROM THE MOON by Anu Vahtra ‘Eat your way home from the moon’ comprises two video works by Anu Vahtra. First is a documentation of ‘Open House Closing. A Walk’ (2017), a loosely scripted walking tour through the streets of SoHo, drawing attention to the phenomenon of post-gentrification in New York and highlighting various sites linked to the artist Gordon Matta-Clark. A new video work produced for the exhibition documents the dismantling of Vahtra’s spatial intervention ‘Completion through removal’ (2019) at Kumu Art Museum in Tallinn. The intervention into the exhibition architecture was realized for her joint exhibition with Matta-Clark this spring. The title of the exhibition at Mertens Frames Project Space by Plan B is borrowed from one of Matta-Clark’s anarchitecture cards, yet the show has nothing to do with the moon. In her work, Anu Vahtra (1982, Estonia) is interested in spatial and architectural environments, including specific aspects of gallery and museum spaces. Through subtle changes, her installations reveal the otherwise overlooked aspects of these spaces, emphasizing their initial purposes.
